Thoughts

This is a big blow to Derby and they will be disappointed to have lost a young talent.

It is a bit of a surprise to see him leave as the Rams do like to give youngsters a chance in their first-team and Brown may well have been among the next batch of players to make the step up.

Nevertheless, a move to Switzerland is an exciting one for Brown and is a great opportunity for him.
